You don't sing for children or their parents

In the nighttime in a bar

You sing for yourself

You stand up for nothing as far as I can tell

You used to be a folker

'til you went and tried to choke her

You're a folk star

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Folk star

You don't wear no leather

Don't care whether or not you arrive

On the red carpet

On the charts with a string of broken hearts

Used to be a folker, 'til you tried to choke her

You're a folk star, yeah you are

Folk star, yeah you are

Come on

You want it

A hundred mandolins won't hide the man within

Folk star with your plastic red guitar

Folk star with your plastic red guitar

Folk star with your plastic red guitar

Folk star, yeah

I'm all right

I'm a folk star now

Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving

But how can they know it's time for them to go?
